I stand amazed in the presence
Of Jesus the Nazarene,
And wonder how He could love me,
A sinner condemned, unclean.
Of Jesus the Nazarene,
And wonder how He could love me,
A sinner condemned, unclean.
How marvelous! How wonderful!
And my song shall ever be:
How marvelous! How wonderful!
Is my Savior’s love for me!
And my song shall ever be:
How marvelous! How wonderful!
Is my Savior’s love for me!

For me it was in the garden,
He prayed: “Not my will, but Thine.”
He had no tears for His own griefs,
But sweat-drops of blood for mine.
He prayed: “Not my will, but Thine.”
He had no tears for His own griefs,
But sweat-drops of blood for mine.

In pity angels beheld Him,
And came from the world of light
To strengthen Him in the sorrows
He bore for my soul that night.
And came from the world of light
To strengthen Him in the sorrows
He bore for my soul that night.
4
He took my sins and my sorrows,
He made them His very own;
He bore the burden to Calv’ry,
And suffered, and died alone.
He made them His very own;
He bore the burden to Calv’ry,
And suffered, and died alone.
5
When with the ransomed in glory
His face I at last shall see,
’Twill be my joy through the ages
To sing of His love for me.
His face I at last shall see,
’Twill be my joy through the ages
To sing of His love for me.

Great hymn
Merthyr Tydfil Mid Glamorgan, South Wales, United Kingdom
This hymn is glorious, absolutely! There are so so many glorious hymns , but this one , for me , clarifies the glory that OUR SAVIOUR LORD JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF AND OUR LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, has promised us all and confirmed that what lies ahead for us all , if we only simply, give our souls to HIM , is unimaginable paradise! Many times ( especially as we are all suffering greatly with the demonic virus) I sit and ponder . Why oh why don’t people simply ask JESUS to help them with whatever it is that life brings! Trouble , strife , hunger , death , illness , financial problems, family dysfunction etc; anything, everything ! The answer , my friend is not “ blowing in the wind “ , ! The answer is JESUS CHRIST! For HE IS ONLY AN ARMS LENGTH AWAY! GOD OUR FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT , WILL PROTECT US FROM ALL EVIL ! HE DOES AND HE WILL . TODAY TOMORROW AND FOREVER AND ETERNITY! AMEN 🙏

This song has so much wonderful truth in it that makes my heart sing. I am glad if Chris Tomlin has helped to bring us back to singing it, but he did not write the words or the tune - they were both written by Charles Gabriel who lived in the late 1800s and went to be ‘with the ransomed in glory’ in 1932 :)

I was listening to this song done by Steph Macleod and in the second stanza, because of his Scottish accent, I thought I heard "I shed no tears for him, but He sweat drops of blood for me." So I came to this site and discovered it is actually "He had no tears for His own griefs,
But sweat-drops of blood for mine.".
Which is a great line by Chris Tomlin; but I sit here with tears about such a thing and the love He loved us with despite my wretchedness, about the idea of what I thought I heard.
"3 He was despised and forsaken of men,
A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief;
And like one from whom men hide their face
He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.
4 Surely our griefs He Himself bore,
And our sorrows He carried;
Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken,
Smitten of God, and afflicted." Isaiah 53:3-4
